Endovenous ablation is a minimally invasive procedure to treat varicose veins, reducing their appearance by cauterizing the vein. And since the procedure is minimally invasive, there is little risk or downtime required afterward.
Though many consider this a purely cosmetic procedure since it effectively reduces the appearance of varicose veins, endovenous ablation also helps:
This procedure takes about 90 minutes to complete. To start, Dr. Naar sterilizes the treatment area and puts a surgical curtain over it. He’ll also apply an anesthetic to the area.
Then, Dr. Naar makes a small incision and inserts a thin tube (called a catheter) along the vein. He then uses a laser or radiofrequency waves to “injure” the walls of the vein, causing them to collapse.
By “closing” the vein, Dr. Naar prevents it from leaking and causing more varicose veins or other issues.
Endovenous ablation is a minimally invasive treatment, which reduces your risk of complications. Other benefits of endovenous ablation include:
Endovenous ablation is a relatively safe procedure. However, with any surgery or treatment, there is some risk of side effects. Possible side effects of endovenous ablation include:
One of the great things about endovenous ablation is that there’s little to no downtime after the procedure. It may be a good idea to take the day of the procedure off from work if you’re able, but if necessary, you can return to work after treatment.
Following the procedure, Dr. Naar recommends:
